"It's easy to bond over hating something together. The Internet is total proof of that"

Codex - The Guild (Series 3, Episode 2)
As anyone who follows me on Twitter knows, I have been watching quite a bit of The Guild the last few weeks. Yes, that's right, I've been spamming your feeds. What, you wanna fight about it?
Anyway, I heard that quote and I realised "She's right. Blogging shouldn't be about entertaining people or making them laugh. It shouldn't be about sharing our lives or connecting with people. No, the Internet is about people who hate things joining together and complaining about those things."
Okay, so there's also quite a lot of porn on the Internet too, but other than porn, the Internet is mostly about hatred.
So I thought, this week, we'd take the opportunity to do some real bonding and strengthen our electronic connection by hating a list of socially acceptable things to hate, collectively shaking our fists and venting our frustration at the below listed things.
Things like cancer. I mean, cancer, what's with all the killing people, really. It's a damn inconvenience.
And also, that .1% of germs that no household cleaner is able to kill. Damn you invincible germs! It's your fault we get sick!
Oh, and cleaning products manufacturers. For years you've told us about your "new and improved" formula, but you've also been telling us your product kills 99.9% of germs. If you're not killing any more germs, how exactly is your product "improved"?
And politicians. I hate them so much.
And don't even get me started on lawyers.
Oh, and what about bad drivers. Am I right? Don't bad drivers suck?
And then there's teams that beat the Essendon Football Club. I know none of you know nothing about the AFL, but you do know me, and you like me, and you want me to be happy.. right?
... at least.. you don't want me to be unhappy..
And what is the deal with mean people? Don't they get that we all hate them? Seriously people, a bit of kindness goes a long way.
Unemployment. That's another bad thing. Because not only is unemployment bad, but when people get really desperate it also leads them to burglary and drug trafficking, which is also bad. That's a three for the price of one right there.
While we're on the subject of crime, rapists, pedophiles and murderers. What is your problem? Most criminals for that matter. You make so many peoples lives unpleasant. We don't like you either.
Bad TV shows also suck. Especially bad TV shows that are advertised a lot, so you're reminded of your anger towards the show in each commercial break, and that just makes you angrier.
Ummm.. what else is pretty awful?...
People who spam your Twitter feed. We don't care what show your watching, either say something interesting or don't tweet at all. (Yes, sometimes I do hate myself, just a little bit)
People who use their Facebook status to seek attention.
People who say w00t.
People who don't spell properly.
People who don't get it.
PeoPleE wHo TyPe lIke ThiS.
People who use social networking to constantly remind us all how much they love their significant other. If you love them so much, get off the damned Internet and spend some time with them.
People who be hating on my game.
People who diss my peeps.
People who are annoying.
People who complain too much.
People who are always happy.
Noisy children.
Crying babies.
Dusting.
Ironing.
Domestic violence.
And of course, Hugh Jackman.
Well, that's all I can come up with. How about you? Do you have anything else we can hate together?
Thinking of you always
